GOD
--grant me the
Serenity to accept the
things I cannot change, p
the Courage to change the
things I can, and the
Wisdom to know the
difference.
. IN REQUIEM
Although-our Genett is no longer with us, as a family, we are assure that -
Throughout the darkest hours of life
Gods hand is always there,
To comfort and to guide us
To soothe our grief and care.
Gods love will never fail us
Gods love is ever true,
If we but put our trust in Him
God will see us through.
